John Fitzgerald Kennedy was inaugurated as president in January 1961. The American people adored him and his wife Jacqueline. However, on November 22, 1963, Kennedy was shot and killed while traveling in the back of his car through Dallas, Texas. The parade audience they attended had to watch in horror as their idol died in front of them. He was 46 years old. In school we were told that the man who shot John F. Kennedy was Lee Harvey Oswald. However, as I grew up, I started learning more and more, outside of school, about the real facts. Like the fact that Oswald was assassinated shortly before the trial for the alleged assassination of Kennedy. Or the fact that Kennedy's successor, Lyndon B. Johnson, had several political and personal differences with Kennedy and that Johnson and his associates controlled many details of that fateful trip in the details of Dallas. It may be that these things are just coincidences. The world may never know. However, there are several alleged pieces of evidence that could be provided to prove that Lee Harvey Oswald was not the only culprit. The purpose of this article is to analyze some of this information and make inferences about what might have happened on that horrible November day in 1963. One of my favorite theories involves Abraham Lincoln. There seem to be many parallels between Kennedy and Lincoln. Some of these are: Both Abraham and John were killed on a Friday before a major holiday while sitting next to their wife who was not injured. Both were in the presence of another couple and the man from each couple was injured. While in the White House, each president had a family of three children, and both lost a child to death. ...... middle of paper ......cutive-order-11110-really-get-jfk-assassinate/>McShane, Larry. ”Det.
